obama, chris christie being least effective and michelle obama being most effective, how effective would you rate the democrats at hammering republicans on women's rights? >> well, i don't know if it's targeted at republicans in a personal way, whether it's michelle obama or chris christie, but i do think they created a tremendous divide, the republicans created a tremendous divide. the democrats have been pointing it out again and again and again. if you're pro choice, if you're pro gay rights, you can't run away from this stuff. he thinks there's an advantage to this. so i think the first two days of this convention, there's an awful lot of attention paid to this. i don't know how much of this is going on in a bubble, but it certainly has a lot of the delegates here, men and women, fired up. that's really a good part of the agenda this week. it's not just to win over the 23 undecided voters in iowa or colorado or virginia, it's the other people here to go back and do stuff even beyond what they thought they would do before they got here. by being so passionate about these issues that t
